STUNNING: FBI Continued to Gather Junk Documents from Christopher Steele 12 TIMES after Election (VIDEO)

At least 12 times the FBI continued to gather junk documents from Christopher Steele after the election of Donald Trump as president.

FBI investigators in the DC bubble were shocked when President Trump stomped Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and were desperate to find Trump ties to the Putin regime. So they kept purchasing junk papers from Christopher Steele from Fusion GPS despite having fired him in the summer of 2016.

Judicial Watch on Friday released documents on Friday showing FBI payments to Christopher Steele for his junk Russian dossier.

Byron York wrote about this shocking news that the FBI was still accessing reports from Christopher Steele even after he was fired and after he fed them the completely bogus Trump Russia dossier.
Via The Washington Examiner:

Congressional investigators know that Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign, kept supplying allegations to the FBI after the 2016 election — and even after he was terminated as a source by the bureau for giving confidential information to the media.

Because he had broken his agreement with the FBI, bureau procedure did not allow agents to keep using Steele as a source. But they did so anyway — by devising a system in which Steele spoke regularly with Bruce Ohr, a top Obama Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, which hired Steele to search for dirt on Donald Trump in Russia. Ohr then passed on Steele’s information to the FBI.

In a highly unusual arrangement, Ohr, who was the fourth-highest ranking official in the Justice Department, acted as an intermediary for a terminated source for the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe. His task was to deliver to the FBI what Steele told him, which effectively meant the bureau kept Steele as a source.

Agents made a record of each time Ohr gave the bureau information from Steele. Those records are in the form of so-called 302 reports, in which the FBI agents write up notes of interviews during an investigation.

There are a dozen 302 reports on FBI post-election interviews of Ohr. The first was Nov. 22, 2016. After that, the FBI interviewed Ohr on Dec. 5; Dec. 12; Dec. 20; Jan. 23, 2017; Jan. 25; Jan. 27; Feb. 6; Feb. 14; May 8; May 12; and May 15. The dates, previously unreported publicly, were included in a July letter from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to the FBI and Justice Department.

Byron York joined Gregg Jarrett Friday on Lou Dobbs Tonight to discuss his recent column on Steele’s continued work with the FBI following the election.

Photos: Remains of Korean War Dead Honored During Repatriation Ceremony


Vice President Mike Pence formally welcomed home the remains of American military this week who died in the Korean war in a solemn occasion Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii.

“Some have called the Korean War the ‘forgotten war.’ But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten. Today, our boys are coming home,” Pence said, before paying tribute to his father, Lieutenant Ed Pence, who was a Korean War veteran.

“Sixty-five years ago last week, the armistice was signed to bring the Korean War to its close,” he said. “From the moment the guns fell silent, American soldiers returned home, some to their families and futures, and some to their eternal rest. But more than 8,000 Americans did not come home at all.”

Pence also spoke of how President Trump secured the return of the soldiers remains:

On June 12, President Trump traveled to a historic summit in Singapore with Kim Jong-Un of North Korea. As our President entered into negotiations with North Korea, he also had our fallen on his heart. As he secured a commitment for the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, our President also secured a promise from Chairman Kim to return the remains of all fallen U.S. service-members lost in North Korea.

“I know that President Trump is grateful that Chairman Kim has kept his word, and we see today as tangible progress in our efforts to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula,” said Pence.

The active era of the Korean War took place between 1950-1953, five years after the end of World War II. The war is still technically in vigor, but hostilities ended following the signing of what was meant to be a temporary armistice in 1953. Neither side has yet to surrender in the war or offer a treaty to end the war. Pence said that the war had been a battle between “the forces of freedom and the forces of communism.”

Black Veteran Goes Scorched Earth On Pathetic Dem Councilwoman Kneeling During Pledge


Controversy erupted a couple weeks ago in a small town in Connecticut after an elected official decided to take a knee during the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance prior to the start of a town meeting.

According to The Washington Post, Selectwoman Melissa Schlag — a member of the Haddam, Connecticut, board of selectmen, or executive body — took a knee on July 16 in protest against President Donald Trump, and vowed in a Facebook post to continue doing so as long as he remained in office, sparking an outcry from some and praise from others.

Amid the outcry over the past few weeks, which saw protests against her actions as well as in support of them, video also emerged of her stating, “This town is fascist and racist,” for which she has apologized, though she has not apologized for the kneeling, which many view as disrespectful to the country and the men and women who’ve fought and died on its behalf.

At another town meeting on Monday, Schlag once again knelt during the pledge and received an earful of boos from the crowd, followed later by a righteous rant from a black military veteran — identified by The Post as Haddam resident Pablo Arroyo — that left her sitting in cold silence.

“I wholeheartedly respect your right to protest, to take a knee, to lay down, to burn the flag, to do whatever it is … that you please. But if that’s what you would like to do, do that on your own time,” he stated while holding a small American flag to a round of applause and raucous cheers from a majority of the gathered residents.

“Kneel at your son or daughter’s Little League game. When you become an elected official, you become a representative of all of Haddam and all of your constituency,” he continued, before likening her to the famed statue of Lady Justice, the only difference being that she was peeking out from under her blindfold to show favoritism to one side over the other.

“You ran as a Democrat, but once you became elected, unfortunately, you have to represent all of your constituents here. Last week and this week, you told at least half the town ‘I don’t care whether I offend you and I’m gonna act on my whim,’” he proclaimed to another round of applause.

“You took an oath, you took an oath …,” he added, among other things that were drowned out by the uproarious cheers and clapping he received at the conclusion of his justified rant.

Are you glad this veteran stepped up and spoke his mind about an elected official kneeling for the pledge?

One might think that the verbal beatdown she received from angry constituents would have an effect, but The Post reported that Schlag appears to have dismissed it and remains locked into her partisan display that has proven quite unpopular with a number of her town’s residents.

Indeed, though she declined to offer up any comment with regard to this incident to The Post, she did take to her Facebook page — in a post that now appears to have been deleted — where she reportedly referred to the Monday town meeting as a “verbal stoning.”

“The intolerance and hate was palpable in the room. The room booed throughout their own pledge as they belted the pledge at me like (a) weapon. I was told I urinated on the graves of dead soldiers. I was told I hate my country,” The Post reported she had written on Wednesday.

Based on those snippets from the now-missing post, as well as her comments to “trolls” on her other posts that are still up, it is readily apparent that she is unrepentant and gleaned no real lesson from the impassioned words of the veteran who pleaded with her to cease kneeling for the pledge while in her official capacity.

Such a request is not at all out of bounds, and the veteran was quite right when he noted that despite Schlag’s party affiliation, she represents all of the town residents during those meetings and should act accordingly.

In other words, as the man stated, protest on your own time, but leave the divisive partisan antics at the door while serving on behalf of Haddam’s residents, who don’t all share in her unpatriotic views and perhaps wouldn’t have elected her if they’d known how she would conduct herself as a representative of the town’s residents.

This man who fought and sacrificed on behalf of this country simply couldn’t bear to see an elected official of his town be so disrespectful to the symbol of this great nation, and he didn’t hold anything back as he let her know how he — and apparently plenty of others in the town — truly felt about her anti-American display.

DACA may be fully restored in August as federal judge rules against Trump admin

A federal judge dealt what could be the final blow against the Trump administration’s efforts to end former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Politico reported.

U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled Friday that DACA must restart fully beginning Aug. 23, which means the government would be required to accept new applications from DACA-eligible immigrants.

According to Bates, the Trump administration’s argument “offers nothing even remotely approaching a considered legal assessment that this court could subject to judicial review.”

Why did he rule this way?

Bates ruled in April that the administration had to process renewal applications for people already in the DACA program. At that time, he ordered the Trump administration to present better reasons for ending the program, or he would vacate the memo that ended it.

“The court has already once given DHS the opportunity to remedy these deficiencies,” Bates wrote. “Either by providing a coherent explanation of its legal opinion or by reissuing its decision for bona fide policy reasons that would preclude judicial review. So it will not do so again.”

Why August 23?

The delay in restarting DACA allows the federal government the opportunity to appeal his decision, which is simply based on his determination that the Trump administration’s reasons for ending the program aren’t legally sound.

“Although the Nielsen Memo purports to offer further explanation for DHS’ decision to rescind DACA, it fails to elaborate meaningfully on the agency’s primary rationale for its decision: the judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional,” Bates wrote.

When Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in September that they were phasing DACA out, they criticized the legally questionable “amnesty-first” approach of Obama’s executive order, and Trump emphasized that it was now Congress’s job to pass immigration reform to protect those in the program.

Congress failed to come to any agreement on a law to replace DACA, leaving the recipients, illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children, in a state of uncertainty for nearly the past year.
